<h1>Assign information types
</h1>

<p>Information types allow you to customize your help topics to specify that designated topics will reach a particular audience. To achieve this, you <a href="infocat.htm">create categories</a> and <a href="infocr.htm">information types</a>, select attributes for them, and assign help topics to them. 
</p>

<p>Information types have an Exclusive, Inclusive or <a href="infohide.htm">Hidden</a> attribute. By assigning one or more information types with an Inclusive or Exclusive attribute, you can determine which topics a group of users will see in the table of contents. By assigning a Hidden attribute, you can invoke the HTMLHelp API to connect topics to events in a program.
